PUB/PSS 2

As I have always said, Sundays are fruitful. Today's special cos its the busiest Sunday of the year so far and it begins from 8am to 2am of the next day.

Part I
PUB Scholarship Talk. Nothing special actually, just the usual stuff-theperks,the current projects, and just that they keep making us eat and eat. We toured the NEWater Centre @ Tanah Merah/Bedok and went on tolisten to some boring talks. The content was so dry and boring. Then-the boat ride! It was rather ok, if only the captain had increased the speed. The PUB guy was still afraid that pple would be seasick-come on, if you drive at the speed of some slow-boat, you will probably fall asleep more than getting sick. The main objective of the ride was to show us the Marina Barrage, but I ended up looking at the CBD and the upcoming NDP Performance floating platform and spectator seats instead. Funny thing was that the PUB guy keep on urging us toconsider PUB Scholarship-felt like asking him, why not the other way round? They award only 10 scholarships per year,out of 500+ aplications. Who's considering who?

Transition
I reached home at 4.40pm, ate a bowl of noodles (my dinner), changed into a blue shirt and off I went to meet Chie Ling at Kallang. But I was very late cos themoment I left house, I realised I forgot to bring a sweater. I went back to take one and left again. Then I realised I forgot to bring a plastic bag, so I went back and took one. I left again and only to realise I forgot mywatch. So I made the 3rd trip back and of cos, naturally, I was late. Haha.

Part 2
Project Superstar 2 Finals @ Indoor Stadium. My first time watching a concert there. Got 4 tix from Arthur (cos his nephew's Cai Weijian) and I sat with Chie ling at Row 4, seats 10 & 11. Lynn and XH sat at Row 7. My goodness, we were so so so near the contestants and hosts!
Throughout the concert, it was very noisy and loud. During the commercial breaks, all the stars went backstage and the hosts just walked around. The superhosts led the fans in saying the cheers and we, being the pple at the side, were less 'high'. Haha. The stars were superb, I must say, their voice being so loud and powerful (credit goes to the vol of the mic as well) and the atmosphere was great. Too bad, I didn't bring my camera. By the way, I still don't like Dawn Yip. Stupid Host.

Towards the end when the other 11 male contestants performed, I was super excited in seeing Lesheng and Cai Weijian.I was waving to the latter like crazy, yet another male contestant behind him thought I was waving to him, waved back at me instead. He still did some funny actions like pointing to me and putting his hands on his heart, as if accepting my support and love. Joker. I didn't even know his name. But now I know. His name's Jeff. Not wanting to break his heart, I just smiled. I loved the part where all the confetti dropped down best-its as if it was snowing. I was covered with the confetti lol.

Got a goodie bag with a notepad and a box of Hoyu hair dye-some brown-red colour. As if I'd ever use it. Must be those colours that had poor sales.

So who did i see? The superstars, camous superstars, super hosts, judges, hosts, plus Patricia Mok, Pornsak and Junli.

Ending
I reached home at 12 plus and had a mini dinner part 2. Overall, thou late, it was fun and worthwhile, afterall such chances don't come often. and i got to meet up with Chie Ling.
